e.t Of carrying her:plans into circa, he had fratned s a resolution for,that purpose, although he was con vinced she possessed no such tneaus. es Tbrenext don, sidetation was, how far France was to receive assist once in the execution of her projeels from Russia ? Immediately after the cenel , ision of peace at Tilsit, it had be6n argsied by many, Rossia had thrown her . self into the armi.of,Fratice, and thereby given pre ponderance to that Power in. the North of Europe.— To those who believed this it must •have been strange to see the Danish Marine' taken pesSeasimi ratified the Rtissian Marine; suffered to rove about at i sure. In one of Lord . Gower's dispatches, dated . 2d Sept, and which was on the table of the. HOuse, his ,Lordship states, in a conference with Gen. Rudberg, the General allowed the existence of Secret Artibl es , in the Treaty of Tilsit, :but declared those . Articles had no reference to England: New it had been i r e. sisted In his Majesty's Declaration, thaelt : Was a keowledge of those secret Articles that had , induced his Majesty to take the steps he had done for secnr ing the Danish fleet. It therefore'became m a te r i a l to know when his Majesty's Ministers became tc quaintedwith those secret Artidesee.how far they re lated to Dentpark—and how far by those Articles France approached her purpose with regard to the Marine of that Country ? , In another dispatch Lord Gower says, in a conversation with the. RusSian Mi nister, the latter had not alluded to the transaction at Copenhagen, and adds, he was surprised next morn s , ing to receive a Note in which it wa s sta ted that the Emperor experienced great pain and anxiety in con s sequence of an intimation of this transaction from his own Minister and from the Court of Denmark. The English Ambassador was instrualed to give an ac count to the Court of St. Petersbnrgh of the motives by which the British Ministry had been atauated.—, He was instructed to declare they had been long in possession of data which left no doubt of the intone tion of the French Government relative to the Ma rine of Dentriark. Why this they might have known ever since the war broke out ! • He was further in, strafed to say the Danish' fleet had.been intended to aid in a descent on the coast of the British Empire, and therefore the security of his dominiens had ob liged his Majesty to, deprive France of so powerful, an assistance. 'lbis was the explanation, given sty his Majesty's Ministers to the Emperor of Iluss.ia— in that very Emperor who was now repres, A i te d the chief instigator cif the confederacy assainst us Was it possible any person represpting his Majesty, and satisfied that Rnssia was what she vas now de - d am e to b e , whe t) he was asked by the Court of St. Petersburgh what was the cause, of our coedit at. Copenhagen, could have replied' that his Majesty's* Ministers possessed data which left no, doubt of ihe intentions of the French Government relative to the Marine of Denmark ? Would he leave duly main tained the honour of the Crown, and the dignity and interests of Britain, if he . had ' tamely said wd had such data P He was convinced our Gaernment had at that time no settled belief that Russia was engaged or disposed to engage to a& hostilely towards us.-L:e, The British Ambassador at. St, Petersbergli, Of whose lumens and ingenuousness there could loe,but one 9pin ion, would have answered to the.detnand of Rus sia, " Why do you ask me this question, when your selves bave,created the necessityr-when'you your selves have been the chief instigators and prolnuter6 of theprojed which myGoVernmeut have taken these ,steps to defeat / ?" in 'mother dispatch to Lord_Pow er, dated eed Sept. when Russia liadoffercd .tomee dime between Great. Britain and France, the Right Hon. Secretary (Mr. Caneing) writes, the terms on which that mediation could !be accepted were, ; st. the frank communication of the Articles of the Tre aty of Tilsit, secret and avewed. Now he thou ht set that time the Right tionsGentleman knew them, • and yet. a knowledge of them from Russia was in sisted upon as the in (pd. non of an acceptance of her offer of mediation. Instead of grounding the ossjeaions of our . .Government to accept .the media , tlon of Russia, on the conduct of that FoWer with regard to Denmark, the dispatch proceeds to state the . 'anxiety, of 'his , Majesty on a variety of other tripies- ,, eon the movements in the Mediterranean--- on , the surrender of Corftee-on the intentions Of Russia with reseal to Turkey —on the public Artieles s of the Treaty of Tilsit, which. recognised the French King of 'Naples only as King. of Naples, although that Article might in e'tfett be roan-as:Wed by a Secret Article, adding to that title that orthe Two Sicilies., These were the cosisideris: tuna which the Right Honourable Secretary urged" the British Minister to press, as reasons (tar desk ing the disclosure of the Secret' Articles of the Treaty of Tilsit; but on any confederacy existing between Russia and France to, fOrce the Danes to c loin against Great Britain, the dispatch was per ,fe• ly :silent. How was, it possible then that the Ri g ht trot. Secretary, or the British Ambassador, could at that time really believe that RuSiia was the chief instigator of the projea by v'shibh -Frence was to have been put in possession of theDanith 'marina ? In another dispatch from the Right Hon. Secretary, of the 26th. September, he signifies to Lord Gower, his Majesty's entire approbation' of the ittswee re turned by his Extelleatey,to General Budberg's Note, On the subject of the operatiens at Copenhagen ; which answer containerlasot the most distant allusion to Russian interfereneps s as being a 'motive to those opera! ions. The DiStsaisgi then goes on, aid /Or the tinit .titne Russia 'mentioned •by the Right Hon.? Secretary as constituting a great part of our ,danger. He says, that certain ennmerated circum . stances ". formed such - 4 body of evidenee, not only, of the designs of Buonaparte, s but ,of the. conni. vane, if not of the participation, of Russia, that hiss • Majesty-would have , been wanting alike in what he, owed so'his own dignity and. to. the security of his . dominions, if he had, not taken tbie .moat featua steps for breakityig Through. the Oripinatlon that was collec.ting around him ; and it would LIB been ithe,under such circumstances ; to have waited this c onse nt et Russia, to tneasures calculated tCY it 4.• pbt it danger of which Russia herseltformed so large' . -„a part."
